This is not a review so much as an FYI.
About 3/4 into this pilot episode (halfway through Part 2), BA gives the villagers a pep talk, a veritable monologue, remarkable in showing a side of BA we virtually never see again throughout the entirety of the series, and essential to the scene in terms of understanding how the villagers go from apprehensive to emboldened.
On iTunes, this pep talk is entirely and inexplicably excised from this scene. In fact, BA is omitted completely. We don't even know he's there. The scene is edited such that one villager says no, another says yes, they take a vote, and the yeses win. I don't know if this is unique to iTunes or if the scene is similarly altered elsewhere, but as a fan of the show, BA, and Mr. T, it's a travesty.
Please put the scene back in, iTunes. If you're cutting for time, please take it from other places. Mr. T is the single exception to an all-white cast, and this is one of the only scenes in the whole series where we glimpse beyond the awesome one-liners.
